'you know who deserves the credit of ^ having brought the Seaboard Air! " Line Railroad to Abbeville?" To my! s?surprise I found that not one of them; 1 knew. Since it happens that i Know j ".all about the beginning of the move-; e | ment?it would now be called the1 ("drive"?which succeeded in bring-; ling the S. A. L. from Monroe, N. C.,! ~ to Abbeville, and on to Atlanta, I *,feel that I owe it to the memory of a igood man who now sleeps in Long r Cane churchyard to tell the people of ^ Abbeville who it was to whom the i - 'ii ^Ino TViaf mem was ; creuiu uuv.. iiiM? ... e Lewis W. Perrin. His characteristic ' _ l 1. modesty kept him from saying: much !about himself; but the late William' 'Henry Parker and I were witnesses to the fact that it was Lewis Perrin that 'first suggested the enterprise, and e that the,information he furnished was ' * the egg from which was hatched the - extension of the great railroad from " I Monroe to Atlanta. j It will interest?perhaps it will amuse?your readers to learn how the ' thing was done. I doubt if any other - i-i _ r great railroad interprise ever naa a ? beginning so strange and so small.' h And yet, you know, great trees from - little acorns grow, great rivers from 1 small fountains flow. This is how it 1 happened: One evening Mr. Parker,! -tMr. Perrin and I were sitting just I outside my office door, the old Law j - Range, which you, Mr. Editor, remem-; ber well, just behind the old court ^ - house. We three, deeply interested j - in the welfare of our town and couny ty, were wondering what could be! done to bring about the construction; i of a great trunk railroad that would . ! f run through Abbeville. We were quite i despondent. Several schemes had; e been tried, and efforts made, and i- money spent but all in vain. It look: ed as if Abbeville would have to cons tent itself with being the terminus of, ' ' * tj-?I a the orancn nne irum nuugcs i ' ! "Suppose we try to induce the Sea-' - board Air Line to come this way,"; ? ! said Mr. Perrin. Where he had got 'his information I never knew; but he' to^d us that S. A. L. had reached f Monroe, N. C., that the aim was to II carry it on to Atlanta that the danger h was that it would run through our. s state bv way of Columbia, and on to - Augusta; but that legislative authority had not yet been asked for. He y said he believed if we could get the s other towns along the route to join, n with us and agree to issue bonds in j 'aid of the railroad, we might prevail' e on the S. A. L. company to build the J * j e road through the upper part of the s state, oassing through Greenwood and s Abbeville and on to Athens and At-! s lanta; that besides, this was much the i > umilll Jiwg?MM??UWWfMtl? 1 ? I II IIIIW shortest route, and free from competing lines. It was evident that Mr. Perrin had carefully considered the situation. We discussed the matter a long time. We then took a bold step. We formed ourselves into an executive committee,?self elected,?Mr. Parker, chairman, Mr. Perrin, treasurer, Mr. Benet, secretary. On a printed postal card we issued a call for a convention of delegates from all the towns along; the proposed route from Monroe to Athens?the convention to meet in Columbia on a day named to consider the advisability of issuing: municipal bonds in aid of the S. A. L. railroad. As secretary I mailed the postal card call to the mayors of all 'he towns. I can with the "inward eye" see that postal card now, with our three names subscribed as "executive committee." In a few days I began to receive favorable replies. No one seemed to question our authority, nor to ask whom we represented, or who elected us. The day came for the convention we had summoned. We three went to Columbia. We found Columbia hotel swarming with delegates. The newspaper reporters were at their wit's end to know what was up. They had heard nothing of a convention. They were all puzzled. The "executive committee" had to answer .many questions. The convention met after supper, was duly organized; the purpose of the call was explained. Kesoiutions in favor of the scheme were adopted, great enthusiasm was manifested. Best of all, General Hoke of North Carolina was there. He was legal counsel of xlie S. A. L. and had come to assure us of the favorable attitude of the railroad. This, too. was due to Mr. Perrin.. It was he that asked me as secertary to invite him. The meet ing was a great success, un my motion it was agreed that the convention should meet next time in the town of Greenwood. At that meeting in Grenwood the important business was finally settled; and the S. A. L. was soon being constructed from Monroe towards Abbeville and Atlanta. W. C. Benet. It is evident Hungary is not hungry for a Hapsburg. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF NEWBERRY. IN COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Bank of Greenwood, plaintiff, against M. T. Pitts and A. M.
